Born approximation Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-11-05

The Born approximation replaces the unknown total field inside a scattering integral by the known incident field, thereby retaining only single scattering. In nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, first-order Lippmann-Schwinger iteration gives

f (k^{'}, k) = - \frac{m}{2 π ℏ ^{2}} V (k^{'} - k) .
